Mindful Bites and Healthy Delights

On October 21, nine members attended a Lunch & Learn on healthy eating, led by Claudia from Senior Resources and UCONN intern Rose. The session began with a fun discussion about snacking habits (salty, sweet, savory, or crunchy) reminding us that snacking, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.

Members learned about MyPlate, which encourages filling half your plate with fruits and vegetables, and explored mindful snacking, savoring each bite like children do. The group discussed celebrating small victories when choosing healthy options.

Claudia approved our homemade Vegetarian Chili, even taking a plate to go. Later, after our guests left, we indulged in cookies, feeling good after a day of mindful, balanced eating.
